FAJ .LISTER'S COMPUTER HAT IDEAL HOME FOR Y<


A CLITHEROE firm of chartered surveyors and land agents is taking property sales into the computer age. John P a l l is te r , o f


Parson Lane, has gained a fine reputation for its work in a number of fields associated with estate managements and surveying since starting business on its own ac­ count eight yeai-s ago.


Link up Now head of the firm


Mr John Pallister feels the time has come to branch out into residen­ tial house sales, after de­ aling with many _ in­ quiries along those lines /or some time now, and it is intended to pursue the development in a big


l


way. The very latest in


micro-chip technology will make Pallister’s the


ADVERTISING FEATURE


first estate agents in the Clitheroe area to use a computer to help cus­ tomers in the search for their ideal home. Basically, the ultra­


modern facility will be used to match property available to the require­ ments of a particular customer. Eventually it is hoped to tie in the Clitheroe computer with similar facilities in other


towns, thus expanding the range of properties available to potential housebuyers.


Pallister’s have always


sold property, along with their many other functions. But until now, such sales have been concentra ted in the countryside market, de­ aling in such properties as farms, farmhouses,


country cottages and barns for conversion.


“Now, however, we


feel the time is right to go into residential house sales,” said Mr Pallister. “We have been dealing with inquiries along those lines for some time now and feel we are well equipped for such a • move.


Dynamic “We have good con­


nections with building societies and insurance companies and for some years now have carried out surveys for mort­ gage purposes for many of the leading banks and building societies.


“With the inti-oduction o f the new computer


facility, I feel we can make a success of our new venture.


“Our offices are in the


centre of town, we are well staffed and well qualified to deal with all kinds of inquiries and have g o o d d isp la y facilities.


“Above all, I believe


that estate agents should be more dynamic than they have been in the past and I feel that our ultra-modern computer facility should help us


achieve this.” The expansion into re­


sidential house sales will not, however, have any detrimental effect on the other many and varied aspects of the firm’s work.


In fact, Mr Pallister


feels that all branches of the firm’s activities will be improved by the in­ troduction of the compu­ ter facilities.


In the past, Pallister’s work has been primarily


geared towards agricul­ ture, such as managing estates for people look­ ing for expert help and guidance with their property.


Variety “But we also are in­


volved in compulsory purchase work for such developments as the building of motorways and the arrangement of compensation for people whose properties are af­ fected, said Mr Pal­ lister.


“It covers a wide vari­


ety of properties and one of the most interesting of late was the sorting out of compensation for the owners of a pork pie and sausage factory which was faced with de­ molition.”


. A wide variety of SECRETARY-RECEPTIONIST Mrs Jackie Richardson at the control key­


board of the computer which will revolutionise customer services at Pallister’s


work, indeed, no doubt destined to become even more interesting and ful­ filling, for firm and cus­ tomer alike, as Pallis­ ter’s becomes a local pioneer in the computer age.

Blend of old and new


PALLISTER’S has a history stretching back to the 1930s when Mr John Pallister’s father, Matthew, now retired, first set up in business on his own.


After the second ivorld war, the firm opened offices in the centre of Skipton


and since then has continued to provide services to owners and tenants of property in the Yorkshire and Lancashire area. After completing Ins student days in London, John Pallister returned to the North and moved from Skipton


to live in Clitheroe. Because of the wide distance covered by all ruralsnrveyorsand land agents, it


ivas later decided to "split the patch”. John went into business on Ins own account to take care of the Lancashire area and Yorkshire became the responsibility of Matthew Pallister and Son, of which brother William is now in


charge. John chose to centralise his business in Clitheroe and the first home for the


new firm was above the Yorkshire Bank in the town’s Market Place. Five years ago came the move to the former grocer’s shop premises in Parson


Lane, which Mr Pallister now feels will make the ideal home for Clilheroe’s newest estate agency, with the very latest in customer service technology.


Situated in the shadow of Clitheroe’s historic castle, it makes for an interesting blend of the traditional and the ultra-modern.
